Game 24: Mets 6, Nationals 3

Umpire blindness costs Reyes a triple
But for the Mets’ chances caused barely a ripple
Murphy’s pinch-homer is moment of bliss
But on play at second, his presence is missed
Mets then battle back, a sac fly from Hu
And two batters later, Murph again comes through
Is it the talent? Some luck? Or a mix?
Here’s what I know: the win streak’s at six.
